BTW, Knitting squares on the diagonal is easy peasy. Start off with one stitch on the needle and increase one stitch at the start of every row. Then when the straight side is long enough (6" in my case) decrease one stitch at the start of every row until you are left with only one stitch, and voila! A diagonally knitted square. Doesn't stretch like a straight knitted square.That's the lesson for today.
